| The AP, CNN, and other propaganda outlets spread the word. The AP article noted that �She offered a catalog of examples of mistreatment of women and children� by the evil Taliban. As ever, false chivalry in American men, and rage in American women, was incited to effect predetermined agendas. How, after all, can any person not demonstrably evil come forward to speak against brutalizing women and children? As in all instances of agitational propaganda, dissent is silenced by imputation of evil. Mrs. Bush said she intends to launch �a worldwide effort to focus on the brutality against women and children.� In hysteric hyperbole, she added that �mothers face beatings for laughing out loud� the brutal oppression of women is a central goal of the terrorists.� Following up Her Bushness� initial fusillade of agitprop, the U.S. State Department had conveniently prepared and released a nine-page report, �The Taliban�s War Against Women.� �War Against Women??!!� In a land teeming with dead, crippled and conscripted men? The major difference between the genders in the Islamic and Western worlds is that in the vast majority of Islam, males dominate the military and politics, and females dominate the home -- including the cultural conditioning of male children. In America, females dominate -- or try to dominate -- every sphere of life, and wage cultural war on males if they don't Get Their Way. Would the Taliban�s �War Against Women� bear any possible resemblance to the �War on Women� that Western feminists, governments, media, and educational institutions have assured us has been waged in North America over the past three decades � during which time America�s streets, prisons and graveyards have filled with �victorious males�? Hmmm. Nah, just coincidence. Hmmm. At long last, we see the high heels on the feet of the Toxic King -- road paving for the steamrolling matriarchate. The modern prison-industrial complex in America, the kultural police state, as well as the mass homelessness and demonization of males, occurred concurrent with feminine "liberation," and demonstrates a recapitulation of pre-"patriarchal" gynocentric social orders, amounting to a re-deification of the feminine. Beast within beast within beast, as the Good Doctor noted when our madness first latched onto us decades ago. �With one of the world's worst human rights records, the Taliban has perpetrated egregious acts of violence against women,� asserted Mrs. Bush. Substitute �American government� for �Taliban,� and �men� for �women,� and Mrs. Bush�s outcry exactly describes conditions in the Land of the Free over the past three decades. The Taliban �is now in retreat across much of the country, and the people of Afghanistan, especially women, are rejoicing,� said the putative �First Lady.� No doubt. Now, who will free American men � and the rest of the planet -- from Hilary Clinton and Laura Bush? The AP story reported that, �The [First Lady�s] campaign is meant to make restoring women's rights a priority when a new government emerges after the war.� At long last � now that most of the world has crushed the last of the �patriarchy� -- the American government drops its mask of �eradicating terrorism,� and we witness the inner agenda behind this decoy �war.� That feminism will sweep the planet is assured. The question is: which version of matriarchy will we see? Will it be the egalitarian feminism of Christina Hoff Summers, Daphne Patai, and Patricia Pearson? Or will it be the supremacist, self-serving, misandrist feminism of Gloria Steinem, Ophrah Winfrey, Andrea Dworkin, and their sick cysters? Will it be Athene or the Empowered Witch, the Shekinah or the Erinyes? A recent article in the Village Voice, �What Women Want,� states: �The rare overlap between feminist and military interests made for particularly warm relations in the greenroom at an NBC station in Los Angeles when [feminist Eleanor] Smeal met up with three generals who were about to appear on Chris Matthews's 'Hardball'. 'They went off about the role of women in this effort and how imperative it was that women were now in every level of the air force and navy,' says Smeal, who found herself cheered by the idea of women flying F-16s. 'It's a different kind of war', she says, echoing the president's assessment of Operation Enduring Freedom." Hark also to Wendy McElroy, of ifeminists.com, from her recent article �Arm the Afghan Women�: �Afghan women need to exercise the right of self-defense, including gun ownership ... the very existence of Afghan women who take up arms suggests a female population with more vitality and self-confidence than is immediately apparent � armed resistance is emerging as a sub-theme of women in Islam ... The best defense against 'guys with guns' is women with guns." [italics added] Meet the New Boss. Same as the Old Boss. I've got a bulletin for "libertarian feminist" McElroy -- arming Afghan women for retaliation against Afghan men will not further "justice for both men and women" any more than arming North American women with cultural weapons to fight their male "oppressors" has provided "justice" for males over the past four decades. |
